Editorial Review:
Stunning tropical scenery and gorgeous athletic movie stars may not make a movie great, but they sure don't hurt. Jared (Paul Walker, The Fast and the Furious) dreams of finding sunken treasure and making millions, but his girlfriend Sam (Jessica Alba, Fantastic Four, Sin City) is content with their poor but idyllic life in the Bahamas. Still, when they find artifacts from a 19th century pirate ship, she gets caught up in the excitement--until they also find a crashed plane full of smuggled cocaine. Naturally, someone's going to want that cocaine back... From there, Into the Blue is a surprisingly well-plotted action movie, unpredictable in its specifics if familiar in its broader outlines. Even more pleasant, the action itself stays plausible and genuinely engaging throughout. Jared seems able to hold his breath for a preternaturally long time, but aside from that the movie is meticulous about the dangers and threats the characters face and is all the stronger for it. Add to this its unabashed ogling of Alba and Walker (both of whom are astonishing physical specimens) and you have a solid romp. Also featuring Scott Caan (Ocean's Eleven), Tyson Beckford (Biker Boyz), and Josh Brolin (Flirting With Disaster) as a slimy rival treasure hunter. --Bret Fetzer
Into the Blue Reviews:
Awesome Remake 
2009-11-17 - I liked this movie a lot. Some parts are predictable, but let's face it, so many movies are. Great views of the islands, blue waters, dolphins, sharks, and PAUL WALKER is in his usually fine form! Don't worry boys, Jessica Alba wears some teeny weeny bikinis for your viewing pleasure. This movie was based on a 1977 film by the same name. The difference involves morphin instead of coke, and a sunken ship rather than a down airplane. Worth your money. Watch it on a night when you are pooped and want an easy watch that will take you by the hand and walk you to the end credits. No brain surgeons required to get the gist of this flick.
Not bad 
2009-09-29 - I've to say I bought this purely to look at Ms Jessica Alba. Yes, she is gorgeous, isn't she? I discovered that the movie isn't too bad either. The plot is average, but the action (esp the underwater stuffs) was good even for a non-diver like myself.
The picture quality of this Bluray is very nice... the water, the sea, etc, all showed beautifully in Bluray.
Worth a buy.
One of my favorite dive movies 
2009-07-12 - I love movies set on the beach, on the ocean and under the ocean. This is one of my favorite movies revolving around diving and it is set in one of my favorite places in the world: Nassau, Bahamas. There is a lot of diving, the main characters are hot and there's lots of bikini shots. They get entangled with a drug dealer and there lazy island lifestyle turns into a fight for their lives. Not everyone survives.
Jessica Alba is hot, hot, hot, but there is no plot, plot, plot? 
2009-07-01 - The movie seems like a Hollywood sex-ployation of Jessica Alba
than a real underwater treasure hunting film.
We learn one thing about how to blow sand off a wreck using massive watter blowers, but the rest is a pretty bad drug based plot
that gets a lot of people killed by people and sharks.
I actually disliked this film after being a long time fan of underwater films from John Wayne on(John Wayne when he played in the movie "Reap the wild wind". The movie was made in 1941 by the famous film director Cecil. B. Demille.)
What a surprise! 
2009-05-17 - Okay, I admit it. I rented this movie for Jessica Alba in a bikini. What I got, in addition to Ms. Alba's fine form, was a pretty entertaining story. It was nothing earth-shaking, mind you, it's kind of an updated version of The Deep which had Jacklyn(sic) Bisset in a very memorable scene involving a wet tee shirt.
The film was beautifully shot, making me want to strap on a pair of fins and a face mask and jump into the water. I doubt very much that the East River would provide anything close to gorgeous dive scenes in the movie.
There's not a lot of heavy lifting in the acting department, but the cast does a fine job. Scott Caan in particular plays his yuppie, scumbag, bottom-feeding lawyer role to the hilt.
Overall, this is a good popcorn movie I would not hesitate to reccomend to others.
